Playing The Great Sound Of Vinyl Through Your Sonos System

It is possible to add the pleasure and great sound of playing records through your Sonos system.The easiest and most complete way is to add a Sonos Connect unit to your system.The Connect unit has the standard 2 RCA phono plug connection to accept the leads from a turntable.As turntables output at about a tenth of the volume of other hifi components such as a CD player,you will require an additional phono pre-amplifier to go inline between the turntable and the Sonos Connect unit.Once set up this will allow you to play your records throughout the entire Sonos network in your home.

Sonos also offer a Connect Amplifier which is the same as a Connect but with an inbuilt stereo amplifier which will power a pair of attached speakers.

If you own a Sonos Play 5 there is an auxiliary input on the rear of the unit which allows for a turntable to be connected and played.You will again need a phono pre-amplifier this setup to enable a correct playing volume.

Bob Moses’ sophomore album, Battle Lines, drops September 14 and is shaping up to be a solid addition to the Canadian duo’s discography. ‘Enough to Believe’, the third single from the new album after ‘Heaven Only Knows’ and ‘Back Down,’ keeps to their brand of melancholy electronica.

Peach Body is the project of Mitchell Wood, one-half of Melbourne duo Leisure Centre. With ‘Boy In Love’, his debut single under the Peach Body moniker, the producer makes a slight deviation from the electro-pop of Leisure Centre, creating a more electronic-oriented sound.

For the last couple of years Melbourne’s Two People, Phoebe Cockburn and Joey Clough, formerly of Snakadaktal, have been teasing us with brooding electronic-pop. The artwork for the last two releases – ‘Something To Talk About’ and ‘I’m Tied, To You’ – suggest a “proper” project is coming, and if their latest release is anything to go by it’ll be something serious.
